Health Effects 2-Phenoxyethyl acrylate is a strong skin sensitizer. Effect Assessment Acute Toxicity Oral / inhalation / dermal Irritation / corrosion Skin / eye/ respiratory tract Sensitisation Toxicity after repeated exposure Oral / inhalation / dermal Genotoxicity / Mutagenicity Carcinogenicity Reproductive / Developmental Toxicology Does not cause acute toxicity after oral and dermal exposure. No data is available by inhalation. Skin contact causes a slight skin irritation. Eye contact causes a slight eye irritation. Strong skin sensitizer. Based on the available data, does not cause toxicity to internal organs after repeated exposure in animal studies by oral administration. No data is available by dermal route and inhalation. Based on the available data, does not expected to cause genetic effects. No data is available. Based on the limited available data, 2-Phenoxyethyl acrylate is not classified for reprotoxicity. 6. Environmental Effects 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate was determined to be hydrolytically stable under acidic conditions, but moderately unstable under neutral and basic conditions. 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate is inherently biodegradable.it is assumed to be also biodegradable in soil and sediments. Effect Assessment Aquatic Toxicity Toxic to aquatic organisms. GPS Safety Summary 2/5
Fate and behaviour Biodegradation Bioaccumulation potential PBT / vpvb conclusion Inherently biodegradable No bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms expected As this substance is not considered to be bioaccumulative, it is not classified PBT. This substance is considered to be neither very persistent nor very bioaccumulative (vpvb). 7. Exposure 7.1 Human health Workplace exposure: Exposure can occur either in a 2-Phenoxyethyl acrylate manufacturing facility or in the various industrial facilities that use 2-Phenoxyethyl acrylate. Those working with 2-Phenoxyethyl acrylate in industrial operations could be exposed during maintenance, sampling, testing, or other procedures. Each industrial facility should have a thorough training program for employees and appropriate work processes and safety equipment in place to limit unnecessary exposure. Particularly as 2-Phenoxyethyl acrylate is a potent skin sensitizer, dermal Local exposure and risk should be minimized. Safety showers and eye-wash stations should be accessible nearby. Workers should follow the safety measures recommended in the Extended Safety Data Sheet (esds). 7.2 Environment Environmental exposure: 2-Phenoxyethyl acrylate is used in industrial settings and exposure of the environment is assessed for the manufacture, formulation and use. There are no direct consumer uses for 2- Phenoxyethyl acrylate. Based on the results of risk assessment, all uses are adequately controlled with regard to the environment. 8. Risk Management recommendations Eye/Face protection Skin protection Hand protection Respiratory protection Organizational measures Engineering control Human health measures Safety glasses with side-shields. Long sleeved clothing. Gloves: nitrile rubber > 0,5 mm,(suitable gloves tested to EN374). Replace gloves immediately when torn or any change in appearance (dimension, colour, flexibility, etc) is noticed. When using concentrated chemicals always make sure that there is adequate ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipments. Ensure workers are duly trained to minimize exposure. Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits. When working in confined spaces (tanks, containers, etc.), ensure that there is a supply of air suitable for breathing and wear the recommended equipment. GPS Safety Summary 3/5
Environmental measures Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. All effluent releases that may include the substance must be directed to a (municipal) waste water treatment plant that removes the substance from the final releases to the receiving water. 9. Regulatory Information / Classification and Labelling 9.1 Regulatory Information This substance has been registered under: EU Regulation EC 1907/2006 (REACH) 9.2 Classification and labelling Under GHS, substances are classified according to their physical, health, and environmental hazards. The hazards are communicated via specific labels and the esds. GHS attempts to standardize hazard communication so that the intended audience (workers, consumers, transport workers, and emergency responders) can better understand the hazards of the chemicals in use. Substances registered for REACH are classified according CLP (EC) 1272/2008, implementation of the GHS in the European Union. Classification According to REGULATION (EC) no 1272/2008, the substance is classified: Skin Sens. 1A Aquatic Chronic 2 Signal word Warning Pictogram GHS07: Exclamation mark GHS09: Environment Hazard statement H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction. H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Alternative classification according to Globally Harmonized System (GHS) H303: May be harmful if swallowed. H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction. H401: Toxic to aquatic life H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects GPS Safety Summary 4/5
